UDPATE
The hurricane force storm that was over the western North Atlantic shipping lanes Feb. 23rd-24th has weakened and turned northward towards Greenland, however, a second storm has developed off the US East Coast over night moving eastward and is also producing storm to hurricane force winds (50-65 knots) with waves forecast to build also up to over 11 meters (38 feet) by this evening over the shipping lanes between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean sea and US east and gulf ports
ORIGINAL (Feb 22)
An intense storm low over the west-central North Atlantic was producing storm to hurricane force winds (50-65 knots) and waves building up to 11 meters (36 ft.) during the next 18-24 hours within 300 NM southwest of the center. This system is developing along the shipping routes between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea to/from US East and Gulf Ports and will likely cause some delays.
